scotto (post #87): Pitchfork gave the London Calling reissue a 10.0, which was the first I saw of that.Well lo and frickin' behold. Time to start playing the lottery. Only, I need to buy tickets for the one that will be held a year from now.
Me (post #93): OK Computer and Kid A got 10.0s. I would gather that, depending on the reviewer, if they were to re-review "In the Aeroplane over the Sea" by Neutral Milk Hotel, it would get a 10 as well.
Oh yeah, Angels won, couple of homers, lots of runs for the good guys, Bart gets number 21. It's weird not to care about the outcome all that much, isn't it? This must be what it's like for Royals fans, but for the whole year.

Well, that was a lounge thread, so it was supposed to be surreal. That was back when I still posted in the lounge.
Actually, I was looking for the herpetic stoma story.
I hate pitchfork I cant navigate that place anymore. But if anything deserves a 10.0 in the last 10 years, it;s that album
In 8 years you know those wannabe trendwhores will be rating Stone Roses' "Second Coming" a 10. Dumb twats.
I worship at the altar of John Squire, and even I wouldn't give Second Coming a 10. Now, the first album, I'd only give it a 10 because they wouldn't let me go any higher.
Fair enough. To each his own. I can see why SR rates highly, even tho' they don't in my book...
And where do we think Pitchfork will stand on the Strokes versus the Walkmen in 8 years? In 20 years, will my friend Alan be "rediscovered" a la Nick Drake?
Miss Cleo, where are you when we need you???
My irrational infatuation with the first Stone Roses album is no secret. I think it's the greatest collection of recorded material produced by man.
I put PF in the third wave of strokes reviewers. There the first wave (They're the saviors of R&R!!). The second wave (They're rip-offs, and we're too cool to listen to bands that just sound like VU). Then there was the third wave (We're way cooler than the second wave. We're so fucking cool, we LIKE bands that rip-off VU!). But they've pretty much given good reviews to both the Walkmen and the Strokes, right? Eh, I like 'em both, so whatever.
I don't want to rip on PF too much, though. The've gotten me to listen to some good music.
